Google AI Resident, 2018 Start (Fixed-Term Employee)

The Google AI Residency Program — previously known as the Google Brain Residency Program — is a 12-month research training role designed to jumpstart or advance your career in machine learning research. This program is looking for people who want to learn to conduct machine learning research in collaboration with their researchers. The research teams are looking for coding abilities in either Python or C++ and exposure to machine learning or deep learning; or applications of machine learning to NLP, computer vision, speech, systems, robotics, algorithms, optimization, on-device learning, social networks, economics, information retrieval, journalism, or health care. All residents will be paid a competitive base salary and bonus. If the residents require relocating for the residency, Google will also provide a relocation bonus to assist them in the move to the Bay Area (or other location, if needed).
